Minica ninja style

Ok guys first of all sorry this has taken so long, but here it is. About a year ago I picked up a early 70's Mitsubishi Minica, It was a personal import from Port Moresby (around 1999 from what I can work out) and was owned by an elderly lady, registered and driven until head gasket blew, derigstered and sat for many years, was sold to a nice gentleman in her street then later sold to me, factory spec 2 cylinder 2G21 350cc 4speed rwd.
Repairing the original engine was not really an option as virtually no parts were available and I couldn't see myself enjoying 24kw, I have always liked the thought of a bike engine car and the decision was made, after much searching,measuring and inspiration from a friends aussie race car, a donor was bought
A 2005 Kawasaki zx10r, 176hp@13,000rpm, It had been flipped and was a reasonable price, it was always going to be a tight fit and after a talk with modplater it was agreed that due to calculations an 1100cc was about the limit of legality(to be honest a bigger engine wouldn't fit nicely), the original sump was never going to fit so a billet flat bottom sump was sourced from the states and mounts made
All original Kawasaki wiring and componentry was used including complete fuel system,(internal pump,reg,filter and light)
The original diff was tiny and had a 6.33:1 ratio,and four wheel drums were not sufficient, so a shortened Toyota T series was fitted (with a more fitting 2.92:1 ratio) front brakes were upgraded to sirion 230mm vented rotors and calipers, and rears to 230mm solid 323/laser disc and caliper
Next on the list was remaking the headers as the original titanium ones were never going to fit
An off the shelf driveshaft adaptor from USA was used and a custom driveshaft was made to suit, a 2inch stainless exhaust was made to suit, original bike instrument cluster fitted, seats retrimmed, all put back together and the rest is history, it is totally legal/modplated and registered,there is still some suspension to sought out( ie adjustable castor/camber), it needs LSD (late model ae86 will fit) and gearing issues, gearing is a hard one as the bike was geared to do 160kph in first gear and 300kph in sixth, with my diff/tyre ratio 1st is around 110 and 6th around 220, so 1st is far from ideal and 100kph on the highway is 6500rpm in 6th.I was happy and surprised with the final weight and distribution, it came in at 570kg with full fluids and jack/spare/tools etc

"Where can we get hold of a Vincent Black Shadow?" "Whats that?" "A fantastic bike," I said. "The new model is something like two thousand cubic inches, developing two hundred brake-horsepower at four thousand revolutions per minute on a magnesium frame with two styrofoam seats and a total curb weight of exactly two hundred pounds."

Thanks for your comments, its actually really good to drive, gear changes are a little clunky at low revs but awesome under power and even though the factory cams are 300/292 degree it pulls cleanly from around 2000rpm, I tried to use as much as possible from the bike as it was designed for that engine ( i wasn't confident that a car radiator with 25mm inlet & outlet would cut it, or even exist)

I've got an '04/05 ZX10 - wanna wheelie comp? My fave bit of this is the bike can at the rear.

Very cool car, sorry if it's already been covered but I always thought bike engines in cars was a no go at all for a rego'd vehicle? What were the special requirements to get it to pass (if any or was it just normal engineering?)

That's a bit of a myth. As soon as a bike engine is out of a bike it is just an engine. The problem is usually emissions and noise. Because this one went in to a car from the 70's the emissions are no problem. And for an engine conversion on a car, rather than using the engine in an ICV build, I guess there's no noise test either.
